<p>
            The customization point <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">push_back_container</span></code>
            needs to be implemented for a specific type whenever this type is to
            be used as an attribute in place of a STL container. It is applicable
            for parsers (<span class="emphasis"><em>Spirit.Qi</em></span>) only. As a rule of thumb:
            it has to be implemented whenever a certain type is to be passed as an
            attribute to a parser normally exposing a STL container and if the type
            does not expose the interface of a STL container (i.e. no function being
            equivalent to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">insert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">end</span><span class="special">(),</span> <span class="identifier">attr</span><span class="special">)</span></code>.
            These components have an attribute propagation rule in the form:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">:</span> <span class="identifier">A</span> <span class="special">--&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">Op</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">):</span> <span class="identifier">vector</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">A</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
</pre>
<p>
            where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">Op</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">a</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
            stands for any meaningful operation on the component <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">a</span></code>.
